Illinois does a few things right…. one of them being the state’s flexibility on school choice!
As an Illinois resident, you have the choice to enroll your child in public school, private school, charter school, magnet school or homeschool.
If you choose to send your child to a private school, like Solid Rock Christian Academy, Illinois has a Tax Credit for Education Expense Program you can apply for in order to get up to $750 per family. According to Edchoice.org, “Parents receive a tax credit worth 25 percent of their K–12 expenditures after the first $250 spent, up to a maximum credit of $750 per family. To get the maximum $750 credit, parents must spend $3,250 on educational expenses.”
One of our goals at Solid Rock is to make private schooling affordable for our families that desire a christian education for their children. We are thankful IL has a good tax credit in place to help families with tuition. For more information or to apply, visit: Education Expense Credit
